An urgent phone call from her niece, Mandy upsets the routine. Mandy and her wife, Laura, need help urgently. Their community of Riverbend, North Dakota, is under threat by what appears to be a vampire and the resources of their metaphysical shop, the North Star, are stretched to their limit.
Sephie wastes no time. She and her protege, B.D. Travers, pack everything -- including a few dozen jars of Cousin Lije's secret ingredient -- into the station wagon and head north.
Once in Riverbend, Sephie finds the vampire along with a whole host of other supernatural creatures and just maybe a bit of romance.
